I fixed this myself with the patches found at:
https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/23510/files

and running
sudo -u wwwrun ./occ dav:sync-birthday-calendar

Will this be fixed in an upcomming release?
Will the changed .php files cause problems with updating through the webinterface?

Thank you for owncloud

[MariusBluem]

The PR you have mentioned above is already merged and in the current Nextcloud master.
Will be part of the next major release 😉

Hi, I just had this problem with a shared addressbook and the birthday calendar. Tried to run the occ with birthday sync, which showed up the calendar-type for user B on the left side under Abonnements (Contact birthdays), but no birthdays are shown in the calendar itself.
For user A all birthdays are shown correctly.

@GetMike: I don't quite understand what you have done so far.
Have you modified or replaced the following file with the changes found
at https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/23510/files ?:
apps/dav/appinfo/application.php
apps/dav/lib/caldav/birthdayservice.php
apps/dav/lib/dav/groupprincipalbackend.php
apps/dav/lib/dav/sharing/backend.php
apps/dav/tests/unit/carddav/birthdayservicetest.php

Did you run "sudo -u wwwrun ./occ dav:sync-birthday-calendar" with
wwwrun changed to your apache user?

Sorry - I did not check, that these files have to be replaced. I ran occ dav:sync-birthday-calendar without changing these 5 files. Have to try to get your changes into the affected files first ...
Thanks for your help!

[pshlng]

You can view the whole changed file at the link I posted. Beware that
the files/changes are for version 9.0.52 and not 9.1. According to
mar1u5 the changes should be in the next major release (9.1?) allready.

Still had this problem today with NextCloud 10. Update was already in the NextCloud 10. With Website Cron there was no update, had to add "./occ dav:sync-birthday-calendar" to the cronjob for www-data

[ghost]

I upgraded from owncloud 8 to nextcloud 9 (latest version) then again from this to nextcloud 10 and I am having this issue, shared contact bdays from inherited bray calendars are not showing for other users. In NC10 I created a new contacts book for people who don't use a cellphone (mostly babies and chikdren), shared it and it does not have this problem.

No special changes in files are needed in this case, I only had to use:
$sudo -u www-data /var/www/nextcloud/occ dav:sync-birthday-calendar

Notice I am using ubuntu (www-data user for apache server) and my nextcloud folder is in /var/www/nextcloud.
